The series of free open air concerts and lectures in Marble Hill Park have been hailed a success by organisers.

Across the nine events, an awesome 3,500 people attended.

They included five live gigs every Sunday in August, with performances from The Greenwood Trio, the Lovekyn Consort, Greg Tassell and piano/harpsichord and two stellar shows by The Perrin Jazz Collective.

Donations were encouraged on the day to go towards the Marble Hill Revived restoration project.

Many visitors also held a picnic in aid of the Petersham Road-based charity the Poppy Factory to help wounded, injured and sick veterans move back into work.

There were also tango evenings and Shakespeare events.

Marble Hill said: "Thank you to all our amazing community who joined us for nine Arts in the Parks events.

"We welcomed over 3,500 of you to share in our socially distanced free opportunity to celebrate local arts and artists, thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund."
